More about hyraxes… By the way, the suborder Afrotheria also includes tenrecs, golden moles, ardvarks, and elephant shrews. njwight: The African tree hyrax is part of the group of animals known as Afrotheria., which also includes, amongst a few others, elephants. The elephant and the hyrax are thought to have descended from a common ancestor and some research indicates they are more closely related than any other group of animals-although the sea cow enters in there somehow. I love freaky little nature tricks.
